16 terrorists killed, two soldiers martyred in K-P operations: ISPR

Security forces in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (K-P) killed 16 terrorists, including two Afghan nationals from the Indian-sponsored Fitna-al-Khawarij group, in intelligence-based operations over the past 12 hours, according to the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR). Two soldiers, Havildar Asmat Ali and Naik Aftab Ali, lost their lives during the engagements in the Mir Ali, Datta Khel, and surrounding areas.

The ISPR reported that 12 khawarij, including the two Afghan nationals, were killed in Ali Khel, while two khawarij each were neutralized in Mir Ali and Datta Khel. The attackers, who belonged to the banned Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), were involved in numerous terrorist activities, including civilian killings. Weapons and ammunition were recovered from the terrorists.

The military vowed to continue its relentless counter-terrorism campaign to eliminate the menace of foreign-sponsored terrorism from Pakistan, following the "Azm-e-Istehkam" vision approved by the Federal Apex Committee on National Action Plan.
